How do you make forward momentum the standard for your business, rather than an occasional thing? Growth is far from unpredictable if you know how to engineer it - you just have to master a few important concepts.
Jason Graybeal is the founder and president of Graybeal Group, a multimillion-dollar agricultural, commercial and personal insurance agency designed to help empower high-performing individuals to thrive in rural areas while protecting customers in the same market. Jason is also the co-host of the No Bull Business and Brews Podcast, where he lends his wisdom and sense of humor to other entrepreneurs and business owners on the rise.
On this episode of the Step It Up Entrepreneur podcast, Tomas and Jason cover how Jason grew his insurance business to great heights using genuine connections, drive, and smart acquisition strategies, what to look for as you seek out a group of peers you can grow with and learn from, and Jason’s guiding philosophy regarding cash and opportunities. Listen in for a laid-back interview that will get your wheels turning on your next big move towards major business growth.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Jason managed to get funding for his goals early on without a ton of assets to prove himself to his investors (and why he has the exact opposite problem these days)
- Why books have been irreplaceably valuable in Jason’s rise to the top, and what he’s gained from his reading list over the years
- What Jason looks for in his employees and team members - and how a pattern of negativity can change the tone of your whole company culture
- And much more!

"What's that story of Elon Musk, maybe, he went to 180 banks before they finally got a yes, or something like that… The same mentality exists - if I want this to happen, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna find a way and I still am that way. Like, if there's a deal that pops up tomorrow, I will find a way. And I can almost guarantee you that I will find the way, I'm not going to give up."
